  • I believe another poster asked a very similar question a few weeks back and was given some great leads by the Forumites. I suggest doing a search of the database and see what you can find.
  • Good responses from everyone! Thanks for the insight and ammunition to support my position to present to the powers that be.
  • Our company actually includes holiday hours as hours worked for purposes of computing overtime pay. This practice drives my rationale that if we are computing those holiday hours as hours worked, and actual hours worked on the holiday would then go…
  • I'd pay him the four days (2 dyas worked and 2 sick days) and be done with it.
  • I agree with each one of you to have a "qualified, competent" (payroll) person tally up the hours, note OT, etc. However, we have just outsourced payroll duties. The individuals who are entering time into the timekeeping system (and there are many…
  • If you have salary grades that are linked to correlating positions, adhere to them. I haven't researched anything on this issue, but just thinking down the road with a DOL/EEOC charge. Defense would be rather weak, defending that company has salar…
  • I appreciate the comments and, despite software limitations, am pushing back for recording of actual start/stop date/times.
  • "The Fair Labor Standards Act and a nmber of other federal and state laws requires employers to keep records of the hours worked, wages paid and other conditions of employment. The law does not mandate just how time records are to be kept. Employers…
  • I concur. Especially since she has continued to receive the wages for 5 months. Going forward, if they want to reduce, and employee accepts, fine. But to take it back from what has been paid, definitely not.
  • Late last year, our company was faced with a somewhat similar position in that we had an exempt employee who wanted to work parttime, taking on an additional 20 hours per week, working in a non-exempt manufacturing position. After consultation with…
  • You must address it two-fold. It does help to include a clause within a commercial contract with the vendor, but the second part is if it becomes known to the company that the contractor is utilizing illegals, the company must put a prompt stop to …
  • My understanding of the DOL's position on this type of situation is as follows: Maintaining Exempt Status -- To maintain the exempt status while performing non-exempt work, an employer must perform an analysis of the exempt position to determine th…
  • Compliments of HR Hero. Tip of the Week Home > HR News > HR Headlines > Tip of the Week Know the risks when using contingent workers Excerpted from Delaware Employment Law Letter, written by attorneys at the law firm Young, Conaway, St…
  • Including $500 -- $50 -- or $5 gift certificates....taxable.
  • I just thought I would come back to the forum with the information provided me on this matter. There are two issues that must be addressed when considering the exempt individual who desires to take on part-time non-exempt work duties: (1) Is the e…
  • Thanks to you both for your comments. All info indicates this is not an avenue we wish to tread down. Happy Tranksgiving to all and be safe!
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-23-04 AT 02:49PM (CST)[/font][br][br]Marc, Are you saying that the hours worked in the non-exempt position now become OT since you state "paying time and a half for the extra work". Obviously, what …
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-18-04 AT 08:25AM (CST)[/font][br][br]I am approaching this from a different angle. Holidays aside for a moment; if a company shuts down operations for a period of time, say one week, all employees, e…
  • [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 10-26-04 AT 07:18AM (CST)[/font][br][br]The following is an except from our Military Leave Policy: "Health care coverage shall be provided to employees who are on military duty for less than 31 days as …
  • [url]http://www.dol.gov/esa/programs/whd/state/meal.htm[/url] Check out this webpage, and there exists a similar fact sheet for rest periods, just could not readily find it.
  • Yesterday morning employee reported for work and observed co-worker who was already at desk and appeared to have been working for quite some time. Co-worker commented that he had been working 18 hours straight. Arriving employee went to supervisor…
  • Again, thanks for the input. Brad, I thought I read a case that came out about a year ago that in essence said (I'm paraphrasing here) an employer can start the FMLA clock ticking when it becomes known to it of an FMLA event. Such an event could b…
  • I'll give you a call sometime today or Friday morning. H
  • Just yesterday I responded to another forumite with an explanation which I believe answers yours as well. It is my understanding from your facts that the employer has designated a permanent location for which employees drive from their homes to thi…
  • My interpretation of the regs is the same as you have enunciated. But since I have never come up against this issue before, not sure of the correct answer to your query.
  • Just a note to consider: Check the material you received from the labor law conference to be sure there is no copyright restriction. I know a lot of us provide copies of our own work product to each other on a regular basis, but here you are provi…
  • Correct me if I am wrong, but it was my understanding that the new regulations did NOT impose any minimum compensation for outside sales, TEACHERS, and employees practicing law or medicine. If my understanding is correct, then your instructors may …
  • I am approaching your query a little differently than parabeagle. Our mfg operation utilizes temporary employees and the agency has a full-time on-site person who "administrates" the temps on site. The on-site rep is located in HR and works with H…
  • Private mfg company where we actually do count holiday and vacation hours when computing overtime. But not sick time or time off on disability etc.
  • As of 1/1/03, in the private sector, there were 7 states that had state requirements regarding rest periods. Those states included: CA, CO, KY, MN, NV,OR, and WA. NJ is not one. See the following link: [url]www.dol.gov/esa/programs/whd/state/re…
